Money is of all things, it is a good medicine to cure diseases, it is a warm coal in the snow, it is the source of all happiness. In troubled times, gold and silver are the root of a family and a life.
Yang Fugui's eyes full of desire for money moved Lu Geng and Feng Yaonong.
It's not impossible to make money with him, but the owner's shop and money cannot be touched.
Also, what Yang Fugui asked for was a small fortune, but Lu Geng and Feng Yaonong were now the big shopkeepers. They no longer looked down on small fortunes, so they asked for big things.
"What's big?" Yang Fugui's eyes sparkled.
Lu Geng touched his chin and thought of some valuable things mentioned by people traveling from north to south.
"Golden mountains, silver mountains, mines, jade veins..." Lu Geng murmured.
Yang Fugui's heart trembled when he heard it, and he put his hand on his chest.
"Yang Fugui!" Li Man's voice sounded in the backyard.
Yang Fugui was disturbed by a sweet dream: "Oh, I have to go find Miss Ali. No matter what you do, remember to save a seat for me!"
"As someone close to my boss, don't forget to give us a good word!" Feng Yaonong also said hurriedly.
"Countless!" Yang Fugui shouted, shouting out in response to Li Man's shout outside.
In addition to completely owning the three major provinces of Zhenzhou, Kuozhou, and Fuzhou, Jiao Jinhu also occupied a large number of large cities and counties in recent years.
To the left where Youzizhuang is located is the incomplete corner of Fengyuan.
Half a year ago, Xia Zhaoyi came by boat from the east. Now he went south along the Cangjiang embankment. He no longer entered Song Zhiyi's Daping Dynasty, but switched to a horse-drawn carriage and headed all the way to Kuozhou and Linzhou.
To the southwest of Fuzhou is Wanshan Pass northwest of Peifeng.
Beyond Wanshan Pass, you will reach the entire western part of the Central Plains.
Xia Zhaoyi is going to Wanshanguan and others this time. Pingyang Road is strictly monitored, and it is all hidden lines and eyes of Beiyuan. Therefore, it is not yet known that the northwest border army has passed through Youzhougang Road, and any letters or people will pass through it.
Cold winter frost and snow in the six northwest states.
Wanshan Pass is the only way to go, but while waiting for others, Xia Zhaoyi must go to Peifeng.
Shoushi and Peifeng both belonged to Panzhou according to the official definition of the Daqian map in the early years. However, Shoushi and Peifeng were so big that as time went by, they became independent concepts among the people.
In particular, Peifeng's strategic position is very critical. The Li Qiu Plain is to the north of Peifeng, and there is a huge ferry formed by the intersection of Dongjiang River and Bishan River. Therefore, Peifeng's land and water routes are smooth, connecting east and west, and reaching north and south.
In the early years, the people of Peifeng particularly looked down on Panzhou and Shoushi, feeling that they were holding them back. But no one expected that Peifeng would be the first to suffer an incident and wipe out nine out of ten of its population.
And, the person who is now the king and hegemon in Peifeng is Lin Yao.
When they were traveling around the state, Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie had discussed Peifeng, hoping to lure Lin Yao out to deal with Liu Jing Mansion.
But when Xia Zhaoyi left Fuzhou six days later, he learned from the people he met along the way that Peifeng was surrounded by soldiers and horses from Liujing Prefecture.
They took a boat to go south. In several villages by Dongqing Lake, only the elderly in their seventies or eighties were left, and not a single young person was left.
To the west of Dongqing Lake, there is a huge cemetery. Yang Fugui and Li Man followed Xia Zhaoyi through the cemetery and up to the mountain.
Far, far away from the end of the earth, you can't see Peifeng's city, but you can see the sunset shining on the company camp in the southwest.
There really is an army, and there are quite a few of them, definitely more than five thousand.
According to the information obtained, I did not hear that Mu Tingyu and Qian Yuandeng led the army to Liu Jingfu, so where did this army come from.
It doesn't look like Li's cavalry.
"If there's a fight, does my boss have any chance of winning?" Li Man asked curiously.
"I can't answer that," Xia Zhaoyi said calmly, "I don't know the strength of this troop or the situation in Peifeng City."
Although Lin Yao is a trapped beast, a trapped beast is also a beast, not to mention that Peifeng is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After the words fell, Xia Zhaoyi's ears twitched slightly and he turned his head slightly.
Seven men walked across the cemetery and came toward them.
The leading man was tall and tall, and he looked at her as he walked. When she turned around, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped for a moment.
Yang Fugui and Li Man were on guard as they watched them approach.
Xia Zhaoyi said in a low voice: "Let's go."
She turned around to leave, and the man shouted: "Stop!"
From a distance of more than thirty meters, his voice was very loud, full of energy, and his tone was extremely arrogant.
Xia Zhaoyi stopped and turned around to look at him.
"Where did you come from?" shouted a fat man following the man.
Li Man frowned and touched the dagger with his big hand.
Yang Fugui was afraid of causing trouble and glanced at Xia Zhaoyi, worried that he would take action.
"Stay in Jingfu," Xia Zhaoyi said, "my fiancé-in-law is leading the troops below."
"Liu Jingfu?"
The men looked at each other.
The leading man's expression became more fierce: "Are you Li Xiao's fiancée?"
Xia Zhaoyi had no expression on her face, but she felt surprised in her heart because of this name.
If he hadn't mentioned Li Xiao, Xia Zhaoyi would have almost forgotten this person.
It is true that Li Xiao disappeared too quickly back then, and there has been no movement in these years. Occasionally, when people mention it, I wonder if he was put under house arrest by King Jian'an.
The fat man pulled out his knife and walked over quickly: "Tell me! Are you Li Xiao's bastard fiancée?"
"Who are you?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
Yang Fugui's legs were shaking. He glanced at Xia Zhaoyi and Li Man, and Yang Fugui picked up a big stone from the ground: "What do you want to do! Speak carefully, don't come over, don't do anything!"
"I'm asking if you are Li Xiao's bastard fiancée!" the fat man shouted fiercely, while rolling up his sleeves.
He didn't have time to answer, as the person was right in front of him. Yang Fugui's mind became hot and he hit him with the stone in his hand.
The accuracy was too bad. The fat man looked at the stone falling in front of him, cursed angrily, and rushed over with the knife raised.
"Ah!!" Yang Fugui shouted, then raised another stone and threw it at him.
Li Man drew his dagger and rushed forward. The men behind the fat man rushed towards him one after another.
Li Man thought about inviting the enemy, but the fat man looked fat and his skills were very good. Li Man couldn't defeat the opponent with one move, and the opponent's companions had already rushed over.
The fat man's knife slashed at Li Man again, and there was a sudden pain in his leg. The girl suddenly rushed over, stepped on his thigh, jumped up, and jumped behind him with a somersault. At the same time, the dagger in her hand flashed through the air.
Scarlet splashed out of the corners of the fat man's eyes. He belatedly noticed the sharp pain in his neck, and hurriedly raised his hands to cover it, opening his eyes wide.
The dagger in Li Man's hand stabbed into his stomach twice.
The fat man was kicked to the ground by Li Man. Before he was about to die, he turned around and saw the girl rushing into his companions, and the back of Li Man running up.
